I bought my last car by emailing half a dozen car dealerships in my area about specific cars they had on lot. I told them I was looking to buy it within a week if the price was right and asked for the “out the door” price.

Some tried to play the typical games but several gave me a really good price right off the bat. I ended up paying about 12% under MSRP without having to haggle. I arranged a pick up time, showed up, filled out the paperwork, paid the agreed upon price and was out of the dealership in about an hour.

All I hope is that by the next time I need my next car dealerships still do business through email.
